Here at Thy Table, Lord- 384

Here at thy table, Lord, this sacred hour,

O let us feel thee near, in loving power;

calling our thoughts away from self and sin.

As to thy banquet hall we enter in.

Sit at the feast, dear Lord, break thou the bread;

fill thou the cup that brings life to the dead;

that we may find in thee, pardon and peace;

and from all bondage win a full release.

Come then, O holy Christ, feed us, we pray;

touch with thy pierced hand each common day;

making this earthly life full of thy grace,

till in the home of heaven we find our place.
